Chapter 458: Playing in the palm of your hand

(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of several people who are in the book shortage every day, thank you!) οΌ‰

Yu Cong rode on a horse with the holy decree of the Ming yellow silk cloth, dozens of Jin Wuwei rode in front to open the way, two teams of Shence Army soldiers guarded left and right, and in the back several carriages, there was the best Jin Chuangke imperial doctor summoned by the Tai Hospital, and the holy hand who was the best at detoxification.

Tonghua Gate, the north gate of the three gates of the east wall of Guocheng outside Chang'an, originally had a hundred defenders, but at this time it had increased to a thousand forbidden troops. Just now, the Son of Heaven has urgently issued an edict, ordering the nine gates of the three cities of Guocheng outside Chang'an to tighten their vigilance, strengthen their defense, and immediately close the city gates, and implement martial law in the whole city.

The general of the forbidden army guarding the gate took Yu Cong's special pass and carefully checked that it was correct, and finally ordered the city gate to be opened.

Looking at the city gate guards with nervous expressions, Yu Cong also frowned, and now he was praying in his heart that Li Jing must not be fine. This is not only Li Jing is Yu Xuan's protΓ©gΓ©, but also the Yu family's strong foreign aid. What's more important is that if something really happens to Li Jing, he is really worried that something will happen to the 20,000 Zhenguo army. Inside and outside Chang'an City, although there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops, there are more than 150,000 Shence troops in the entire vicinity of Gyeonggi. But after being in the capital for a long time, how could he not know what the Dao Divine Command Army was like. In the early years, the Shence Army often participated in counterinsurgency battles, and its combat effectiveness was still good, but in the past few years, it has been worse every year, and the Shence Army is full of some chaotic people. If they really want to fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat the Zhenguo army that has just won consecutive victories in Hedong.

As soon as the team left Tonghua Gate, it passed through Changle Slope and went twenty miles to the east. and arrived at the ba. The army that entered Beijing in triumph was stationed in Bashang at this time.

Sit on a horse. Looking at the company camp from afar, Yu Cong couldn't help frowning.

This is the most important strategic location in the east of Chang'an.

Thirty miles east of Chang'an City, the Ba River passes. Because it controls the only way to enter the east of Chang'an City, Bashang has always been an important transportation artery of the Gongwei Capital, and historically, it is a place where soldiers must fight. Historically. Liu Bang took the lead in entering Guanzhong, and the soldiers were stationed in Bashang, and the later Hongmen banquet took place near Bashang.

Bashang belongs to a part of the White Deer Plain, the terrain of the White Deer Plain is higher, high yesterday, the terrain is flat, the field of vision is broad, and there are two rivers of the Ba River and the Production River to protect each other. Militarily it is convenient to garrison the army, with a condescending and condescending place, with a 'bow and crossbow'. Knowing the soldiers is unstoppable. 'The favorable terrain. Bashang relies on the favorable terrain of Bailuyuan, which plays a very important role in the defense of Chang'an.

But now. This important land for soldiers is the garrison of the 20,000 troops of the Zhenguo Army, which is as hot as an oil pot.

As soon as they entered the White Deer Plain, a group of galloping cavalry galloped over and surrounded them.

Yu Cong glanced at the banner and saw that it was the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army. At that moment, he picked up the holy decree in his hand, and said loudly to the knight on the horse: "The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, a certain Yu Cong of the Political Affairs Hall, in accordance with the holy words of the Son of Heaven, specially invited the best imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital to treat Li Zhenguo's injuries. In addition, he also presented a holy decree and went to the camp to proclaim the will of the Son of Heaven. ”

The knight on the horse looked at them carefully, then lifted the curtain and checked the inside of the car, before finally agreeing to let them go on, but the Jin Wuwei and the soldiers of the Shence Army forbade them to advance. The forbidden officer was furious, but Yu Cong hurriedly said a few kind words to him and asked him to stay here and wait. He only went to the camp with a few imperial doctors.

When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Yu Cong saw cavalry galloping past from time to time in front of the camp, and in the camp there were teams of sergeants wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and spears in full formation, and his face couldn't help but change a little.

"Stop coming!" The guards at the camp gate shouted.

The previous cavalry officer stepped forward to say a few words, but a young general passed by with a set of mountain armor and a five-foot giant sword on his back, and looked at them coldly when he heard this.

"Is it the imperial doctor who came to save lives or the imperial doctor who came to kill people?" The young general snorted coldly, "Please go back, our Zhenguo Army has the best military doctors, and we don't need your imperial doctors." ”

Yu Cong was stunned for a moment, the dignified prime minister, but he was rejected like this, and his face couldn't help but look very good. But he knew that this was not the time to put on an official position, not to mention, he didn't have much to say with a group of soldiers. said directly: "Where is Yu Xuan and Yu Shuai, I am his brother Yu Cong, please lead me to meet." ”

When Fu Cun heard that this purple-robed official was actually the brother of the teacher's teacher, he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment. Hurriedly put away the cold color on his face and replaced it with a respectful look, "It turned out to be Yu Xiangguo, I'll lead the way for you." ”

When he arrived in Yu Xuan's camp, Yu Cong was secretly frightened in his heart. Just because along the way, he found that the Zhenguo army had almost controlled the entire camp, and the soldiers and horses of the other towns were already in a situation of being surrounded.

When the two brothers Yu Cong and Yu Xuan met, they couldn't help but sigh a little. Yu Xuan invited Zheng Congyan and other marshal generals to listen to Yu Cong talk about the results of the emperor and the political affairs hall.

After hearing this, Zheng Congyan and everyone didn't speak, just sat there without saying a word, silent.

Yu Cong was a little anxious and said: "You are all the pillars of the country, and there must be no mutiny at this time." Whether it's right or wrong, the first thing is to get the situation under control. You have been fighting side by side with the Zhenguo Army for so long, and you are familiar with the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, so you must help the imperial court control the situation at this time. ”

Cui Anqian said dissatisfiedly: "Things have come to this point, what are you talking about controlling the situation?" The thieves were mad and repeatedly murdered Li Shuai. In the previous siege, we obeyed the will of the imperial court and helped persuade Li Shuai to calm down. But now it seems that the thieves saw our actions as weakness. To be honest, now we don't have the face to face the brothers of the Zhenguo Army. On the battlefield in Hedong, the Zhenguo Army helped us several times to save our Zhulu army. But now, their commander has been murdered again and again, and we can't say it if we don't help them uphold justice, and the court still wants us to control the situation again, which is really a joke. ”

Zheng Congyan also said on the side: "Right now, even if we want to control it, we can't control it." As soon as the assassination took place, the Zhenguo army immediately blocked the camp. Fourteen thousand of us were basically surrounded by the Zhenguo army. If there is any action, maybe it will anger the Zhenguo army first and cause something bad. ”

"Is there no other way?" Yu Cong said urgently.

Yu Xuan looked at his brother, sighed and said: "In the current situation, we really shouldn't add fuel to the fire, a spark can cause a fire if it is not done well." In my opinion, it is better to calm down first. It's important to wait for Li Jing to wake up first. ”

"What if Li Jing can't think of coming?" Yu Cong asked.

No one answered him this question, but the result was clear. If Li Jing really can't wake up, I'm afraid the situation will be really difficult to control.

In the early afternoon, Tian Lingzi came.

He was very reluctant to come, and even said that he was afraid of the Zhenguo army.

But he had to come, and the Son of Heaven sent someone to urge him three times in a row.

The current Tian Lingzi can be described as embarrassed. Don't look at his usual single-handedness and control of the court, but to put it bluntly, he still relies on the emperor internally and the prime minister to control the court externally. Without the support of the emperor, his power would be like a castle in the sky. The time since he was in charge of the government was not too long, and he was far from the ability of those Dazai in previous dynasties to easily depose the emperor, or even directly kill the emperor and set it up again. Now the emperor is his root, and he has to listen to the emperor's orders.

Tian Lingzi did not come empty-handed, and the emperor asked him to come up with two million yuan of money to appease the Zhenguo army, and each soldier had a hundred yuan of money. This is a lot of money, so much that Tian Lingzi is extremely painful. But he didn't dare not give it, naturally his life was more valuable than money.

At present, the emperor is dissatisfied with him, there are Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and others eyeing him, plus the 20,000 Zhenguo army Chen Bing outside, Tian Lingzi feels that there is a lot of danger, and he doesn't dare to have other thoughts at this time.

After Zhang Luo for a long time, the two million money was finally gathered, and at the beginning, Tian Lingzi directly took the flying money from the cabinets and the courtrooms of various states and feudal towns to Bashang. As a result, the Zhendong Army refused to accept the flying money, and insisted on real copper coins. The most unfortunate Houtian Lingzi had to endure it, and truckloads of money were loaded out of various cabinets and warehouses. The convoy carrying the money was lined up from Chang'an City to Ba Shang.

"I wonder if our family can visit Qi Guogong in person?" Tian Lingzi accompanied the smile and said to Zhang Hongdao, who was a member of the Zhenguo Army who received money.

"The money stays, and the people can roll." Li Cunxiao, who was behind Zhang Hong, snorted coldly, and Tian Lingzi, who was shocked, felt furious in his heart. was about to have a seizure, but when he saw these Zhenguo Army soldiers glaring angrily one by one, holding knives and guns in their hands, they almost pounced on him and cut him to pieces, but he still endured it in the end, but he scolded Li Jing and Zhenguo Army more than a dozen times in his heart.

After Tian Lingzi left, Li Cunxiao turned around and returned to the Chinese army camp.

Outside Li Jing's camp tent, at this time, there were three soldiers from the guard battalion lined up on the inner and outer three floors, and even ants didn't want to climb in.

Li Jing's camp tent is the camp tent of Li Guochang of Shatuo, which was captured, and the tent is woven with gold wire, and the whole big tent is gorgeous. It is said that this tent was the royal tent of the Uighur Khan, and that the Uighur prime minister invited the Shatuo to help him during the Uighur civil strife, and this royal tent was one of the trophies of the Shatuo. Originally, this golden horde Li Jing was intended to be dedicated to the Son of Heaven, but now, it has been used by himself.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a large shelf was erected at the door, on which were covered with rows of gorgeous and precious armor, all of which were Li Jing's collection. On the other side is a row of weapon racks, on which there are swords, guns, swords, and lances, all of which are of fine products.

Entering the tent, except for Li Cunxiao, the other five disciples and Li Jing's two sworn brothers, Wang Chong and Lin Wu, were all sitting inside. Liu Xun made a gesture to Li Cunxiao, signaling him to be quiet, not to disturb Li Jing.

Li Jing had already heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and propped himself up. In the warm tent burning several charcoal basins, Li Jing's upper body was bare, and most of his body was wrapped with white fine linen, separated by several layers, and a trace of red was oozing from it. His face was a little pale, his lips were chapped, and his hair was scattered.

"Has Tian Lingzi been here?" Li Jing asked, hoarse and tired in his voice.

Li Cunxiao nodded, "Two million money was sent, according to the teacher's wishes, the money was accepted, and the people drove away." (To be continued......)
